MAX3202E/MAX3203E/MAX3204E/MAX3206E
Low-Capacitance, 2/3/4/6-Channel, ±15kV ESD
Protection Arrays for High-Speed Data Interfaces
Detailed Description
The MAX3202E/MAX3203E/MAX3204E/MAX3206E are
diode arrays designed to protect sensitive electronics
against damage resulting from ESD conditions or transient voltages. The low input capacitance makes these
devices ideal for high-speed data lines. The
MAX3202E, MAX3203E, MAX3204E, and MAX3206E
protect two, three, four, and six channels, respectively.
The MAX3202E/MAX3203E/MAX3204E/MAX3206E are
designed to work in conjunction with a device’s intrinsic
ESD protection. The MAX3202E/MAX3203E/MAX3204E/
MAX3206E limit the excursion of the ESD event to
below ±25V peak voltage when subjected to the
Human Body Model waveform. When subjected to the
IEC 61000-4-2 waveform, the peak voltage is limited to
±60V when subjected to Contact Discharge and ±100V
when subjected to Air-Gap Discharge. The device that
is being protected by the MAX3202E/MAX3203E/
MAX3204E/MAX3206E must be able to withstand these
peak voltages plus any additional voltage generated by
the parasitic board.

Design Considerations
Maximum protection against ESD damage results from
proper board layout (see the Layout Recommendations
section and Figure 2). A good layout reduces the parasitic series inductance on the ground line, supply line,
and protected signal lines.
The MAX3202E/MAX3203E/MAX3204E/MAX3206E ESD
diodes clamp the voltage on the protected lines during
an ESD event and shunt the current to GND or VCC. In
an ideal circuit, the clamping voltage, VC, is defined as
the forward voltage drop, VF, of the protection diode
plus any supply voltage present on the cathode.
For positive ESD pulses:
VC = VCC + VF
For negative ESD pulses:
VC = -VF
In reality, the effect of the parasitic series inductance
on the lines must also be considered (Figure 1).

CIRCUIT
Low-Capacitance, 2/3/4/6-Channel, ±15kV ESD
Protection Arrays for High-Speed Data Interfaces
A low-ESR 0.1µF capacitor must be used between VCC
and GND. This bypass capacitor absorbs the charge
transferred by an +8kV IEC-61000 Contact Discharge
ESD event.
Ideally, the supply rail (VCC) would absorb the charge
caused by a positive ESD strike without changing its
regulated value. In reality, all power supplies have an
effective output impedance on their positive rails. If a
power supply’s effective output impedance is 1Ω, then
by using V = I × R, the clamping voltage of VC increases by the equation VC = IESD x ROUT. An +8kV IEC
61000-4-2 ESD event generates a current spike of 24A,
so the clamping voltage increases by VC = 24A × 1Ω,
or V C = 24V. Again, a poor layout without proper
bypassing increases the clamping voltage. A ceramic
chip capacitor mounted as close to the MAX3202E/
MAX3203E/MAX3204E/MAX3206E VCC pin is the best
choice for this application. A bypass capacitor should
also be placed as close to the protected device as
possible.

ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a number of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, methodology, and results.
Human Body Model
Figure 4 shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 5
shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of
a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the device through a
1.5kΩ resistor.

MAX3202E/MAX3203E/MAX3204E/MAX3206E
During an ESD event, the current pulse rises from zero
to peak value in nanoseconds (Figure 3). For example,
in a 15kV IEC-61000 Air-Gap Discharge ESD event,
the pulse current rises to approximately 45A in 1ns
(di/dt = 45 x 109). An inductance of only 10nH adds an
additional 450V to the clamp voltage. An inductance of
10nH represents approximately 0.5in of board trace.
Regardless of the device’s specified diode clamp voltage, a poor layout with parasitic inductance significantly
increases the effective clamp voltage at the protected
signal line.

Figure 6. IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Test Model
IEC 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment. The MAX3202E/
MAX3203E/MAX3204E/MAX3206E help users design
equipment that meets Level 4 of IEC 61000-4-2.
The main difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 61000-4-2. Because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 61000-4-2 ESD test model (Figure 6)
the ESD-withstand voltage measured to this standard is
generally lower than that measured using the Human
Body Model. Figure 3 shows the current waveform for
the ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD Contact
Discharge test.

Proper circuit-board layout is critical to suppress ESDinduced line transients. The MAX3202E/MAX3203E/
MAX3204E/MAX3206E clamp to 100V; however, with
improper layout, the voltage spike at the device is
much higher. A lead inductance of 10nH with a 45A
current spike at a dv/dt of 1ns results in an ADDITIONAL 450V spike on the protected line. It is essential that
the layout of the PC board follows these guidelines:
1) Minimize trace length between the connector or
input terminal, I/O_, and the protected signal line.
2) Use separate planes for power and ground to reduce
parasitic inductance and to reduce the impedance to
the power rails for shunted ESD current.
3) Ensure short ESD transient return paths to GND
and VCC.
4) Minimize conductive power and ground loops.
5) Do not place critical signals near the edge of the
PC board.
6) Bypass VCC to GND with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor as close to VCC as possible.
7) Bypass the supply of the protected device to GND
with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor as close to the
supply pin as possible.
